Impact Report 2023 - Music Institute of Chicago

A FOUNDATION WORTH BUILDING The Music Institute thoughtfully designs programs to build skills that empower students to listen, express, and create for a lifetime. This begins with our youngest learners.

Musikgarten®, MIC’s early childhood music and movement program, reaches babies, toddlers, and young children with a comprehensive, sequential plan for their musical development.

Singing, moving, dancing, and games lay foundational groundwork that builds key skills like focused listening, coordination, concentration, and memory, which helps to prepare children for a wide range of music and school activities. Equally important, these classes help carve out a dedicated time each week for caregivers and little ones to bond and make music together in a joyful setting.
